Seasonal Maintenance

The right work, before the season demands it.

Alberta doesn't forgive missed maintenance. We keep a running seasonal list for your home and book each job before the weather makes it urgent, from the furnace tune-up to the last eavestrough clean of the fall.

The St. Albert year

Our calendar, not the one in the manual.

Manufacturers write for everywhere. Around here the dates are set by the first frost, the deep cold in January, and how fast the ground gives up its water in April.

August is when you book the furnace

First frost usually turns up around the middle of September. Wait for it and you're in the queue with everyone else who waited.

The freeze-thaw does more than the cold

It's the swing back and forth across zero in March and April that opens up caulking, concrete and grading, not the −35 night in January.

Your house gets its own list

A 1978 bungalow in Grandin and a 2019 two-storey in Jensen Lakes need different things in different months. Neither gets a generic checklist.

Roughly when

  • Aug – SeptFurnace serviced and filters in before the first frost
  • OctoberEaves cleared once the leaves are actually down; hoses off, exterior taps drained
  • Jan – FebIce damming and attic heat loss watched through the deep cold
  • April – MayMelt and runoff: sump, grading, window wells, and what winter did to the driveway
  • June – JulyStorm season. Drainage, downspouts, and hail damage after it passes through

Services We Manage

Every job here is scoped, booked with a vetted partner, overseen, and documented in your Dumeau portal.

The membership covers the proactive management of your home: the plan, the record, and getting third-party work sourced, quoted, and ready for your approval. The work itself is billed at the partner's actual cost plus a flat 15% coordination fee, quoted and approved before it proceeds. Dumeau's own time, whether carrying out a task ourselves or actively planning, coordinating, or handling issues on work you have approved, is billed at the published $120/hr rate. Weekly Travel Watch is the exception: it is included in your monthly membership at no additional charge. See how pricing works.
